Survivor: Last Resort 2.2 - New Zealand Episode 2
Writer: Chad Taylor
Writer: Chad Taylor
The mood in Maori is tense after going through the first tribal council. The main issue is that they weren’t settled on a single person: the tribe had been split in two and sides were taken. Now Sage and Kenny are the two remaining outsiders, with Mickey as a complete wildcard (especially after his idol play).
Meanwhile, Tasman is much more jovial - if only because their cracks have yet to be revealed. The main topic among camp is Karin and her blasè attitude towards the game and their understanding of decency. She can often be found roaming nude on the beach, taking in the beautiful New Zealand environment while pushing the buttons of the show’s editors as they try to adhere to LRTV’s standards. This has caused a debate among the contestants about what is socially decent and if they should establish a set of rules, so that no one feels uncomfortable. Bradley, in particular, is angered by this as he is a married man and he feels like Karin is making his wife feel uncomfortable at home. Karin defends herself and says it is not up to her whether or not her choice of clothing causes his attraction to her. This gets him heated and he storms off.
In confessional, Jill says that she sees both sides but points out that Survivor nudity was a big talking point in the show’s first season and that that “nudist” ended up winning the game.
It is time for the immunity challenge. Using a giant slingshot, three tribe members will be the launchers, while the other four will stand on a balance beam over the water. One tribe member will launch a ball to the other four, who must catch it before it hits the water. The first tribe to catch five balls wins immunity and a fishing kit. Karin sits out for the Tasman tribe. Rick excels as the launcher for the Maori tribe while Tasman is dragged down by the performance of their launcher, Suzanne. Maori proves victorious and wins immunity.
The simmering tensions from before the challenge are starting to re-emerge after the loss. Jill turns to her alliance mates of Alexandra, Albert, and Bradley. Still fuming from before, Rick Bradley suggest they take out Karin as she is dragging down the tribe. Albert agrees with his point but Jill and Alexandra are hesitant. They were leaning towards bringing her in as a fifth member so this would throw a wrench into their plans. Meanwhile, Suzanne would be an easy target because she sucked in the challenge and them targeting her wouldn’t necessarily expose the alliance. Bradley vehemently disagrees and storms off.
Elsewhere, Earl consoles Suzanne about the tribe blaming her for the competition loss. Everyone has their off days. They pull in Gregory and they talk about who they should vote out. Gregory is suspicious of Jill and suggest maybe they take her out. Earl and Suzanne both like this plan.
Meanwhile, Gregory talks to Alexandra, who professes that he has watched her YouTube videos in the past and is a big fan. There is some awkward flirtation in the way he communicates and Alexandra seems used to this kind of interaction. As he talks, he accidentally spills the beans about his distrust of Jill. Alexandra does not reveal how close she is with her and instead nods along to what he says.
Alexandra immediately takes this info to Jill, who is worried by it. However, Alexandra says they shouldn’t target him as he will be a way they can get info from the other side. While initially worried, Jill agrees. Jill and Alexandra fret about the loose cannon that Rick Bradley is. They even debate whether or not they should cut him loose but they agree that he is too important for the athletic side of the tribe. They know for a fact that he is voting out Karin so should they keep on his good side or stick with voting out Suzanne? Which move has the least collateral damage? Is there another option? They look to a censored Karin roaming on the beach.
At Tribal Council, all 8 Tasman tribe members light their torches. The conversation oscillates between discussion of the challenge and the Karin-Bradley feud. Jeff prompts them to discuss the importance of creating moral boundaries within that tribe, if they need any at all. Suzanne, unafraid of consequences, says she is more worried about Bradley’s hot temper than Karin’s choice of clothing (or lack thereof). Ironically, Bradley grows heated at this but cools down and says he is a fitness instructor, it’s in his nature. As is often the case early on the season, a discussion is had about what matters most in choosing who to vote out in the first tribal councils: strategy-based or challenge-ability? They are unable to come to a clear answer.
Jeff says that is time to vote. After each person votes, Jeff says that if anyone has a Hidden Immunity Idol, now would be the time to play it. No one does.

The second person voted off of Survivor: Last Resort - New Zealand….Suzanne. The tribe has spoken. Bradley stares into the fire as Jill mouths “thank you” to Karin.
In her post-show confessional, Suzanne doesn’t have much to say, other than that she was glad to have played the game. Obviously she wishes she could’ve had more time but things just didn’t work out this time.
